English/Language Arts
The audio and video material enhances reading comprehension and writing proficiency including everything from essay organization to sentence structure and punctuation. The writing reviser is an award winning tool which helps students ask the kind of questions experienced writers ask automatically. In the process, students develop the judgment that is essential to effective writing.

Social Studies
A unique case study approach encourages critical thinking about complex issues. Audio and video stimulate interest and encourage rigorous scholarships, and an interactive tool helps students analyze documents as well as write more effectively.

Spanish
Students enhance reading, listening and writing skills by immersing themselves in practical situations and in specific cultural contexts.

In the era of increasing accountability, Curriculum Pathways enable the teacher to see how the lessons relate to the standards. All lessons have measurable outcomes which require students to apply, evaluate or synthesize information.
